Opportunity Summary:
The Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) funding opportunity titled "Establishing new populations of Mimulus gemmiparus" focuses on conservation work for the budding monkeyflower, also known as the Rocky Mountain monkeyflower (Mimulus gemmiparus). This plant is a rare species found only in Colorado and it tends to occur in small, clearly separated patches rather than in one large continuous population. Because the species is broken up into these small pockets, its overall risk of extinction is closely tied to the chance that any single population could be wiped out by localized threats. In practical terms, if one small patch disappears, it can noticeably reduce the species overall resilience, and repeated losses could push the species closer to extinction. The project is connected to FWS efforts to assess the species' status, which the agency is conducting in response to a court order under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). That means the work supported here is intended to inform or support science-based decision-making tied to federal endangered species responsibilities.
Administratively, this opportunity was issued as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, under CFDA 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic). The notice makes clear it was not a typical open competition: it was a Notice of Intent to make a single-source cooperative agreement to EcoMetrics LLC under a "Unique Qualifications" justification (referencing DIO Policy 505 DM 2 B (4)). In other words, the agency signaled that it planned to fund a specific organization because it believed that entity had specialized capabilities relevant to the work. The opportunity listed an expected number of awards of two, with an estimated total funding amount of $20,000. Individual award amounts were described with an award floor of $10,000 and an award ceiling of $20,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated.
The timeline for the notice was short. It was posted and created on July 16, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 23, 2015, and it was later archived on August 16, 2015. Eligibility was effectively limited by the single-source intent, and the listing repeatedly states that the intended recipient was EcoMetrics LLC under the unique qualifications rationale. For questions or issues accessing the announcement, the contact provided was Ellen Mayo at FWS, reachable at 970-628-7183 or by email at EllenMayo@fws.gov.
